Where to buy Cooks Essentials hard anodized set?

Any idea? Cooks Essentials and ultrex were the best

Thanks

@Midmod CE is a QVC proprietory brand, so I'd guess it's only on QVC you can find it...if they still sell it.

 

I have one piece (a Dutch oven) left from a 3 piece set my mom bought for me years ago. The two others I loved were sautee' pans but this year I went through all my pans and anything, especially with non-stick coating, that was pitted or scratched got tossed. And I have two other CE non-stick sautee pans I had never used, so I figured it was time to swap out.

 

Their Hard Annodized line was very nice.

Unless there's any on Ebay...I'm guessing it's only sold on QVC.

 

I'm not familiar with Ultrex.

@Midmod I see it's also offered on Amazon. 

 

Correction: I spoke too soon.  There are some products by Cooks Essentials on Amazon but I didn't see any cookware.

@Midmod - I'll bet they'll have new configurations in the next couple of months as the new year gets underway and they start the "spring cleaning" and "update your routine" spiels. Smiley Happy  So just keep an eye out—hard anodized options may be available soon...

Hope so. I'm not impressed with the CE aluminum offered

CE hard anodized was Technique and was discontinued years ago.  I still have some and it looks almost new.  Ultrex was HSN brand and faced more than one false advertising law suit.

Just a suggestion but I love HSN Curtis Stone's DuraPan cookware. Great stuff and not high cost- Many, many good reviews, not just me! HTH.

Agree!  I absolutely love all my durapans.  Some are many years old used everyday and are like new.  Nothing sticks.

 

I bought his large set and added pieces.  Best investment I did before the big price increases.  

 

I hand wash although I think they can go in dishwasher.  

 

I wish he'd come out with new selections, I'd like small saucepan.

The Curtis Stone durapans sets imo have gotten overpriced as well as single items.

 

I would suggest if not in a hurry to see when he will be on HSN again.  They usually have free shipping and better prices on the sets when he's on.

 

Just a suggestion.
